What happened to Titan?

On June 18, 2023, OceanGate submerged its tourist submersible, Titan, in the North Atlantic Ocean on a voyage to explore the Titanic wreckage. Five people were aboard the submersible: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French maritime and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and a father and son from one of Pakistan’s most prominent families, Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood.

The submersible imploded about 1 hour and 45 minutes after its trip began, resulting in the deaths of its five passengers.

The U.S. Coast Guard is continuing to investigate what caused the implosion.
